Adding more water to tank - tropical fish

5 replies

WishingOnACarrot · 19/09/2020 15:51

Pretty new to keeping tropical fish and trying my best to keep them well looked after.

After the last few water changes I must have removed more water than I have replaced so the water line is lower than I want it to be.

I changed the filter and around 10% of the water yesterday. Replaced it with conditioned water.

Now want to add more to bring the water line back up. What's the best way to do this and how long should I wait?

Thanks!

Just put the water treatment in the bucket/jug of water you want to put back in the tank. Make sure the temps are similar. I usually leave it to sit for a few hours before putting it in the tank

I usually leave it for a couple of hours. Remember to check the PH level in the tank afterwards too

Just put de chlorinater in a bucket of tap water, making sure it is about the same temperature as the tank and gently pour in.
